The Behavioural Intervention Team

Wilfrid
Laurier University, Brantford Campus

The
Behavioural Intervention Team (BIT) provides early caring prevention and
intervention for students whose behaviour is concerning, disruptive, or
threatening.Our goal is to reduce risk
of harm for the student themselves and to the Laurier campus community. This is
a multi-disciplinary team that works in a circle of care model.It is comprised of professionals from the
Office of the Dean of Students, Special Constables Service, Wellness Centre,
Residence Services, Academic Advising, and Accessible Learning.

BIT
provides consultation and support to faculty, staff, and students in order to
assist students who exhibit disruptive behaviours so that they may, with a plan
of support and risk management in place, continue to pursue their academic
endeavors. Not all students referred to BIT require an ongoing support
plan.All students referred are offered
resources.
